Omg if one more SF VC says current status “proves” remote work is the future (full stop) I will lose it. What about the current situation makes you think it is working?
3.28M filed for unemployment last week. Hundreds of billions of dollars evaporated out of the economy. Productivity at historic lows. Anxiety exploding. Now, let’s assume you’re talking only about the software companies you spend all your energies on:
Roadmaps are slowing down. Hiring is slowing if not stopping. Cuts are being made. Kids out of school are making WFH prohibitively hard. Many tech companies will close completely. You’re probably thinking “right but that’s the pandemic.”
Sure... but then again, I’ll ask: what evidence “proves” that fully remote is working? I could hop on one foot from here to Fenway Park if you told me a million people might die if I don’t. Doesn’t mean that that is the best way for me to get there.
You hate your commute, I get it (maybe get out of the Valley?). But stop trying to force this thing. Now is really not the time to say I told you so — especially when all evidence points to this period of remote work as the worst economic disaster in at least a century.
